Bengalis are there all over the World and it is said that wherever there are 3 Bengali families, there has to be a Durga Puja. Well, may not be quite true but the fact that Durga Puja is ‘Sarvajanin’ i.e. for everyone, Bengalis try to start a Puja whenever there is enough number of enthusiasts. Calcutta has the cream of Pujas but this feature is about the Pujas that are held in other parts of India, New Delhi to start with. Will keep this updating as and when the photos start pouring in.

New Delhi:

Chittaranjan Park, or just CR Park is a favorite place for the Bengalis of the Capital. Even when I spent my Delhi days in the most posh Punjabi locality in Vasant Vihar, I made it a point to do my rounds of CR Park, at least twice a month. Fresh fish, Mishti, authentic Bengali snacks attracted me to this wonderful place. Durga Puja days were very different though. Driving and parking was both a headache, yet we went. It was a heavenly feeling to see Devi Durga and hear the Dhaak, buy some of the Saradiya Puja Barshiki and of course gorge on the various mouth-watering foods that was sold everywhere. Here’s a glimpse of a few renowned Durga Puja of CR Park. Photo Courtesy Ms.Parameshwari Sircar.
